Re: [cobirds] Re: Sparrow ID El Paso county (pictures)

This sparrow "look-alike" looks like a Lark Bunting.

The big white wing patch is a strong clue, and the bill is larger than most other sparrows.

Sibley has a cool list of birds that look like sparrows,

but are not. (page 492 of the first edition).

I have recently mis-identified 9 of the last 7 bird photos I looked at, so let's wait 

for another opinion.
